Description

This sauce is nice and sweet with a subtle heat at the end. We used this to baste chicken as it was grilling, but it would be great with some thick cut pork chops or slathered on a slab of ribs. If you have any left over, just allow it to cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

1 TablespoonButter

¼ cupsMinced Yellow Onion

1 TablespoonMinced Garlic

2 cupsApple Cider

½ cupsApple Cider Vinegar

½ cupsKetchup

1 teaspoonGround Mustard

1 teaspoonPaprika

½ teaspoonsSalt

½ teaspoonsCayenne Pepper

4 TablespoonsPacked Light Brown Sugar

Preparation

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir well to combine. Bring back to a simmer then reduce the heat to medium-low.
3. Allow to gently simmer for 45 minutes, until reduced by half and thickened. If you want a thicker sauce, allow to simmer even longer.
4. Remove from the heat. Cool slightly before carefully blending (in a blender or with an immersion blender) into a smooth consistency.
5. Use immediately.
